Why Are Dishonest Televangelists Called Bad Christians Rather Than Bad Atheists?

Question by Trevor E: Why are dishonest televangelists called bad Christians rather than bad Atheists?
There’s plenty to suggest that Ted Haggard (rent boys and crystal meth), Peter Popoff (God’s voice actually an in-ear reciever from his wife), Oral Roberts (God’s 8 million ransom note on his life) and Jim Bakker (embezzlement) no more believe in hell or damnation than Richard Dawkins. If we take it that they don’t mean a word they say, that they in fact believe that there is no god to punish lies, cheating and stealing, then why don’t athiests accept them as fellow athiests?
Various people have said that the lyin’, cheatin’ evangelists are not athiests, but as I understand it, it’s “Atheisim” isn’t a club one actively has to sign up for, promising to abide by certain Rules of Atheisim. It just means you don’t believe in God. If you think Yuri Geller is a con man, you can be pretty sure he doesn’t believe in magic. And if you think the televangilsts are a bunch of liers, as I do, you can be equally sure they don’t believe in god either.
